Opera Mini 8 beta 3 for Windows Phone

Hello All!
Today we are updating our Opera Mini for Windows Phone. Here is what happened lately in our team:
- [WP-217] Improve text selection UI
- [WP-582] Address bar animations are choppy and are not consistent with mockups
- [WP-585] Address bar should be minimized during scrolling down
- [WP-896] History - Expanding animation is no longer smooth and nice
- [WP-918] Download dialogs react on theme's color change
- [WP-920] Edit Saved Page dialog
- [WP-924] Crash during adding page to saved pages
- [WP-935] Wrong suggestions order
- [WP-944] Support downloads with reachability detection
- [WP-946] File not found while removing bookmark causes crash
- [WP-960] Crash when launching the browser with 2-tab session
- [WP-971] Opera stops decoding tiles and eventually freezes permanently
- [WP-975] Address bar should be visible during loading
- [WP-1030] Lower part of address bar not responding to touch
- [WP-1032] Text selection does not work properly on HiDPI
- [WP-1036] Crash when opening image
- [WP-1062] Speed dial page miraculously disappears
So, to sum up, you should now have a bit bigger viewport as both address and action bar will hide. You can also now install Opera on SD card. Text selection was greatly improved, there are some minor UI tweaks and we fiddled a bit with Tamil font, but you need to say how it ended up. We also need your opinion on everything else As always, please leave your findings here or report them via 'report issue' option in settings.
As for known issues... there is a crash when you access 3rd party page and scrolling performance might gone a bit wrong on some devices when bars are hiding. Please remember, this product is still a beta.
OK, happy browsing everyone!

thank you for optimising tamil font... its now working properly.
transition of hiding menu and address bar is not smooth.
scrolling is bit more jerky now.
font size is so small in all the three govern size settings. so please increase font size.
apart from swiping back and fwd u could put back and fwd keys on menu bar also along with stop and reload button too.
text wrap function needed.
that's all needed so far now.
now UI in settings and menu is smooth. Tamil font support u have given is too good. text selection UI is awesome..
keep it up guys. -

We're experimenting in that area, some improvements should appear in beta 4

Much better than last beta but still slow, to slow comparing to Surfy or IE.
My personal test for browser stability etc. its Battlelog page (PC version, not mobile). Most browsers crashing soon or a later , Opera still don't even loading this website
But i must say Thank You devs, my favorite PC browser maybe finally become default browser on my phone. -

There is a point why they did a mobile version of it

Ok, I see what you're on about. Bookmarks as a feature are available from beta 1. Bookmarks sync was never introduced to any WP 8.x version. We're working on being compatible with other Opera browsers that can sync, so please be patient. This is not a trivial task to resolve.

There are probably a small misunderstanding . Other browsers load this page, Opera does not, at all...

I just hope that power usage is less than ie and uc, if it is so this will be my default browser from now. need some time to examine.

Thanx for update Text selection finally works, performance is pretty stable on Lumia 530.
Please add option to disable images completely!!!
How hard can it be to add "OFF" to existing image control options and it would mean a lot for people who are on limited data plan.

But others crash, Opera doesn't, that is a win, right?
No... joking aside, we'll of course look into it, but looking at the desktop page design, it might be quite hard with our architecture, where content is 'rendered' on server side.

I just downloaded new version of Opera and tried using this browser find any changelog but this is just waste of time, taking ages to load Opera Forums. So again i was forced to use Surfy since its just working.
Good luck, you guys doing good job. -
